Reporting issues
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The Salt issue tracker is used for feature requests and bug reports.
|
|
|
|
Bugs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
A bug is a *demonstrable problem* that is caused by the code in the repository.
|
|
|
|
Please read the following guidelines before you `report an issue`_
|
|
|
|
1. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has
|
|
already been reported. If it has been, please comment on the existing issue.
|
|
|
|
2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — the latest `develop`
|
|
branch may already contain a fix. Please try to reproduce the bug against
|
|
the latest git head or the latest release.
|
|
|
|
3. **Isolate the demonstrable problem** — make sure that the
|
|
code in the project's repository is *definitely* responsible for the issue.
|
|
|
|
4. **Include a reproducible example** — Provide the steps which
|
|
led you to the problem.
|
|
|
|
Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report too. What is your
|
|
environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What Operating System? What
|
|
would you expect to be the outcome? All these details will help people to
|
|
assess and fix any potential bugs.
|
|
|
|
**Including the output of** ``salt --versions-report`` **will always help.**
|
|
|
|
Valid bugs will be categorized for the next release and worked on as quickly
|
|
as resources can be reasonably allocated
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Salt is always working to be more powerful. Feature additions and requests are
|
|
welcomed. When requesting a feature it will be categorized for a release or
|
|
placed under "Approved for Future Release".
|
|
|
|
If a new feature is desired, the fastest way to get it into Salt is to
|
|
contribute the code. Before starting on a new feature an issue should be filed
|
|
for it. The one requesting the feature will be able to then discuss the feature
|
|
with the Salt team and discover the best way to get the feature into Salt and
|
|
if the feature makes sense.
|
|
|
|
It is extremely common that the desired feature has already been completed,
|
|
look for it in the docs, ask about it first in IRC, and on the mailing list
|
|
before filing the request. It is also common that the problem which would be
|
|
solved by the new feature can be easily solved another way, which is a great
|
|
reason to ask first.
|
|
|
|
Fixing issues
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
If you wish to help us fixing the issue you're reporting, `Salt's documentation`_ already includes
|
|
information to help you setup a development environment, under `Developing Salt`_.
|
|
|
|
Fix the issue you have in hands, if possible also add a test case to Salt's testing suite, create a
|
|
`pull request`_, and **that's it**!
|
|
|
|
Salt's development team will review your fix and if everything is OK, your fix will be merged into
|
|
salt's code.
